i am on ESA in the support group and claim PIP. My partner claims carers allowance for looking after me and works part time. What happens if my partner finishes her part time work to look after me. Will this effect our weekly living allowance.

Hi, if she leaves work to look after you then she could be added into your claim so she would not be caring and losing her money for nothing. Your claim should change to a joint claim with any premiums reflecting that change also.0

To explain what will happen to your benefits we need to know what type of ESA you receive. Is it new style ESA or the old type of ESA (contribution based, income based or a combination of both)?0
